Antarctica’s Ice Loss Underestimated Threat: New Study Suggests Antarctic Ice Sheet Could Raise Sea Levels More Than Expected

According to a recent research, sea levels might rise more than previously predicted as a result of Antarctica's ice melting.

It is widely recognised that warm ocean waves may seep into ice sheets, greatly speeding up the melting process.

Due to topographical factors, Pine Island Glacier in Antarctica, a significant contributor to glacier loss, is more vulnerable.

Antarctica contributes an astounding 150 billion metric tonnes of ice loss every year to sea level rise.

According to the report, if nothing is done, additional melting zones could cause sea levels to rise by as much as 58 metres.
